Chapter 247: Waiting for a Life
Huai Sleeve once served by Kangxi's side, and seeing his daily style, he had already noticed that Kangxi was resolute in doing things, and he was definitely not a person who rubbed sand in his eyes, especially for things that were detrimental to the society of the country, and if Kangxi knew about it......
Huai Sleeve didn't dare to think about it any further. However, at the moment, Rong Ruo was worried about it, but she couldn't solve it for a while, she was even more worried about his body, and comforted Rong Ruo in a soft voice: "Maybe you are too worried, Ming Xiang has been an official for decades, how can you not know such a powerful thing?" Maybe someone gives him some gifts on weekdays, but it's not worth anything. ”
Rong Ruo shook his head and said, "I really hope it will be like what you said, but people actually sent me whole bags of gold, so that I don't even have room for self-deception!" ”
Huai Sleeve was shocked when she heard this, she knew that if she was clear, she would encounter this kind of thing? couldn't help but ask: "How dare anyone be so blatant, you accepted the gold?" ”
Rong Ruo couldn't help but smile bitterly and told the truth of the matter.
"The afternoon before yesterday, I was writing a book in Tongzhitang, and someone came in and said that he wanted to see me, and I didn't recognize the person's name, and the person who came said that he was a friend of Amma, and I knew that he was not an old friend of Amma, but because I knew all the old friends of my family, I had very little contact with those friends of Amma."
Huai Sleeve nodded, remembering that she had often gone to the Ming Mansion, but she had never seen those officials who came to visit Mingzhu to look for Rong Ruo, and Rong Ruo's friend Liang Fen and others rarely intersected with Mingzhu.
Rong Ruo continued: "I think since he is a friend of Amma, maybe there is something to say, so he might as well let him in, and Yu Li should do the same. Sleeve nodded.
Rong Ruo continued: "Unexpectedly, the man only sat for a moment, and he didn't say anything before leaving, and I didn't plan to keep him, but when he left, he left a cloth bag and said that he wanted me to hand it over to Ama on his behalf. I felt quite pressed when I held the cloth bag, and when I opened it, it turned out to be a bag of gold and a letter from a buyer. Rong Ruo said that his tone was already angry, and his face was flushed.
Huai Sleeve hugged Rong Ruo's trembling body in distress, and reached out to caress his cheek, it had been a few days since this incident, and he was still so angry when he mentioned it, so I knew what he was feeling that day.
"What did you do with the letter and the gold?" Wai Sleeve asked.
Rong Ruo shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know that person, and I don't know where he lives, so I can't return it." I thought that if I had advised Amma to my face, he would have had a quarrel with me, and it was not unheard that such a thing had never happened before, so I wrote a poem of 'Five Ancients' attached to the cloth bag, and sent someone to send it to Amma. ”
Huai Sleeve asked curiously: "What kind of 'Five Gus' did you write?" Let's hear it. ”
Rong Ruo opened his mouth and recited: "Take the danger to explore Wang Yang, come to Wang Zun, commit yourself to the wrong way, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to talk about." There are customers who have gold, mistakenly voted at the Guanxi Gate, and they are innocent and innocent. ”
Savor this "Five Ancients" with her sleeves, the four knowers: God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know, she knows that this is what Yang Zhen said in the "Book of the Later Han" to refuse bribes, and she knows that this is Rong Ruo's words to persuade Mingzhu here.
"Have you seen your poem?" Seeing that Rong Ruo was secretly sad at this moment, Huai Sleeve didn't know what the result was, so he asked anxiously.
Amma naturally saw it, and to this day, he has always ignored me, and he didn't say a word to me when we met, even if I kowtowed to say goodbye, he didn't look back, only looked cold. Hey......" he sighed deeply, tears already rolling in his eyes.
That night was the first time he got drunk. He knew very well that Amma would cause great trouble because of his greed in the future, but he had to watch it, and there was no way in his heart, and this deep anxiety had actually gathered in his chest for a long time, and gradually formed an insoluble dead bond, like a cold disease in his body, which was about to erupt, and every time he attacked, he was in pain.
Huai Sleeve secretly sighed in his heart: Although Mingzhu and Rong Ruo are father and son, why are they so arrogant, Rong Ruo is indifferent to fame and fortune, and his ambition is clean, but it is just ......
She remembered that he was alone in the face of these, the wind extinguished the smoke and the remnants of the cold, accompanied only by the lonely shadow, and wished that she would be by his side, even if the pain was borne together, half of the two of them, it was much better than one person swallowing, and couldn't help but stretch out his arms around Rong Ruo's neck, and put his cheek on the side of his ear, hoping to convey a trace of warmth to him.
"Huai'er, if it weren't for the case of selling land on the Ama River Beach, I'm afraid that at this moment, you would have already returned to me." Rong Ruo's heart ached, he turned his face to the sky, and forced the tears in his eyes back into his abdomen.
He didn't want to cry in front of his arms, but his mood at the moment was difficult to manage.
Huai Sleeve smiled, and said gently: "There are no mountains and mountains, and the rivers are exhausted." Thunder and tremors in winter, rain and snow in summer. Heaven and earth are together, but dare to be with the king. ”
Rong Ruo looked back at the clear eyes of Qiushui in her arms, and when she heard her words, she knew that she really swore that her love for herself was stronger than gold.
Deeply moved, she tightened her arms, hugged her sleeves tightly into her chest, and her burning lips couldn't help but peck lightly on her soft earlobes, and she couldn't help herself for a while, and her blood was boiling.
Huai Sleeve felt that Rong Ruo's body was hot, although she was an innocent daughter's family, she also figured out a little, her cheeks were flushed, her body struggled lightly in Rong Ruo's arms, and whispered in his ear: "This is in the princess's mansion." ”
Rong Ruo was reminded by his sleeve, and suddenly remembered the current situation, loosened his arm, and suddenly remembered that he had only received a letter from Zhu Zhuyuan from Jinling yesterday, saying that Shen Wan originally lived in a courtyard that he had temporarily placed for him, but for some reason, he suddenly disappeared, and he did not leave a word.
After Rong Ruo returned to Beijing, every time he thought about this, he always felt quite sorry for his sleeves, although he did not promise Shen Wan, and it was accidental, but it was still inevitable to feel guilty.
At this time, facing the gentleness of Nuan Yu in his arms, the guilt was even deeper, and he couldn't help asking: "Shang Ruo, if I am ashamed of you, will you forgive me?" ”
Huai Sleeve heard Rong Ruo ask, but did not reply, but asked: "What about our previous agreement, will you break the appointment?" ”
Rong Ruo tightened his arms and said, "This naturally won't!" ”
With a smile in her arms, she thought that Rong Ruo felt guilty for not being able to take her out of the palace for a while, so she asked, stretched out her arms around his waist and leaned on Rong Ruo's chest and said: "As long as you don't change your original intention, even if you wait for a lifetime, I have no complaints." ”
Hearing her say that she has been waiting for a lifetime, Rong Ruo's heart moved slightly, although he heard a lot of words about her and Kangxi, he knew in his heart that Huai Sleeve was only tied to him, but Kangxi's love for Huai Sleeve, he also looked at it.
originally thought that the emperor's affection was tough and domineering, but Kangxi was more considerate and tolerant than possessive, which is extremely rare.
